Default sprints on koni yellows, ride quality sucks

Recently i've been wondering why my car bounces so much. Before when i had the sprints on stock shocks.. the ride wasnt that bad.. it would only bounce on big bumps.
A couple months ago i installed koni yellows with the sprints on the lowest perches. The drop is great but i noticed no matter what setting i use on the koni's, the car would be bouncier then before. It seems like the springs are just too soft.
My question is, is the bounciness caused by the springs? I'm thinking about getting neuspeed race's and leaving them on the stock perches. Would it be a big difference. Those of you with neuspeed races on konis, please give me your input. THanks.

Sprints are not the grestest springs...there are a multitude of better options. H&R, Neuspeed...Comptech....Eibach...All decent.

Ive heard people call sprint springs "show car" drops. in other words they dont do much for performance.

Honestly Id save your money and get some GCs for your Konis. Youll thank me later Best street shock/spring (coilover) setup on the market IMO. (besides Full coilovers)

I have to agree, if you dont want to dish out the money another cheaper alternative is to get H&R sports.. great drop and great ride quality. With the GC's you can choose custom spring rates which if you plan to race is a plus..

I have the H&R sports right now --- and I just have to say - the drop is much too aggressive for the soft rates. Just get some GC's. Save up another $150. Itll be great.
